The study permit pathway for international students to get permanent residency has been a common route many international students including Ghanaians exploit to get permanent residency and eventually citizenship after some years.
However, under latest policy changes announced Marc Miller, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, that option will no longer be available. Under Canada’s latest immigration policies which will take effect immediately next year 2025, international students MUST return to their home countries upon the expiration of their study visas in Canada.
We habe also landed on information that Canada is also terminating the Student Direct Stream (SDS) program and halting asylum claims tied to such immigration pathways.
